In this clip, Buckminster Fuller talks about his experiment in living: when he decided to put his faith in the “integrity of the regenerative universe itself” and commit himself to doing what nature seems to want to do—which is make human beings a success—without looking for personal gain, does he “seem to get on”?
His experience said yes. His commitment to doing what he saw that needed to be done helped him to “unwittingly come into knowledge that is incredibly important to the universe’s own problem-solving.” Amazing food for thought as we begin our Activism challenge. Commitment plus faith minus ego equals progress.
What do you think?

Hi, Thanks for posting it, watching this one inspired me to search for a few more videos of him on utube. I love this video of bucky especially because he saw that for him to have the most positive impact on humanity he needed to aid individuals to become a success not through lecturing but through creating “artifacts” and doing so “apolitically” as he said. “In committing myself to making human beings a success, I would be in the great design of the universe itself and unwittingly come into knowledge that is increadibly important.”
